The experience motivated him to pursue additional opportunities to share his knowledge of the once-common household practice. Some quick thinking - and compassionate TSA agents at the airport in Honolulu - resulted in Kawa‘a hand-carrying 15 boards and stones from Oahu to Molokai, and the poi-pounding workshop continued as planned. This is the land where I’m from in a community that I knew 90 percent of the families pounded poi. “I called my friends on Molokai that I knew pounded poi and had boards, and I could only get two boards and two stones,” he said.

So when Kawa‘a, 72, was getting ready to return to Molokai about 10 years ago to share the practice of pounding poi with younger generations, he made a dismaying discovery. Please remember even though the unit can sleep six (6), there is only one bathroom, so 6 adults may be a challenge.Earl Kawa‘a remembers a time when just about every family on his home island of Molokai owned a traditional handmade wooden board and pounding stone for turning taro into poi. Currently the Fazio golf course is closed but maintained, and it is not unusual to see kids (and parents) running or playing with a soccer ball, football, Frisbee, on this very large and inviting lawn. The loft gives children their own perfect little spot to hang and imagine. The unit makes a great family stay with children as well. This condo is now your little Kingdom to enjoy.
